Book of the Week #25

My pick of the week:

Book: Under Cover

Author: Cyndi Goodgame

Kali Styx was sent to a
boarding school across the country where she knows absolutely no one,
but goes because she is determined to be with her own kind. Things are
going well at first. She has friends. Classes are fun until strange
things start happening. They have always happened, her friends say.
But she’s the first to say anything about it. Or so she thought. Her
father is the dean. Her mother whom she never met...dead. She was
told she was the product of half human/half angel with the strongest
power to rule over her future if she gets control of her powers. But
with so many lies starting to come alight at the Styx Gifted Institute
where her father seemingly holds all the cards, she can’t help but ask
why she was really brought here.Hayes Under, the darkly wicked level
ten in her class has his say in her life on a daily basis whether it’s
nice or not. He has the ability to block her famous spells and get
under her skin at every turn. Webb Travis, who seems so angry all the
time, has the same abilities and no one else seems to notice the way he
hides it.They are both the same in some way, yet so different. Webb
was sent to keep her safe. Hayes was brought up from birth with the
sole purpose to cage her into her father’s web. She knows none of this.
Yet.

Her father is not a warlock like she thought for so
many years. He is not an angel either. He is...the angel. He is one
they call Lucifer. And he’s here on earth to watch over his own until
she accepts her reign and takes her place with him. She’s not to come
alone and daddy has the one he wants already picked out. Hayes is
your all around boy next door, NOT! He is anything but...under the
cover of night he is someone else altogether. Webb is determined to
save her from something she does not know exists yet. He cares, that
much is obvious. Kali is not going to let any of these guys see her
sweat. They fool the rest, but not her. How will she elude Hayes?
Capture Webb? And defy “daddy”?
